Secondary sorting with custom columns working only with files, but not with folders.

Post by *vlad99 »

Do to reproduce:
1. Create for example 2 folders and 2 files
[11111]
[22222]
11111.txt
22222.txt

2. Add to all of them same comment through Ctrl+Z. File descript.ion will appear.
For Example “aaa” comment.

3. Go to Configuration -> Custom columns
Create new
Add column -> with caption “Comment” and fied content [=tc.comment]
Add column -> with caption “MyName” and fied content [=tc.name]
Apply and close Configuration

Now we can see:
Name | Ext | Comment | MyName
[11111]| ---- | aaa --------| 11111
[22222]| ---- | aaa --------| 22222
11111 | txt | aaa --------| 11111
22222 | txt | aaa --------| 22222
descript.ion

4. Now click on “Comment” column header – main sorting.
And click two times on “MyName” column header with “Ctrl” for secondary sorting.
And you will see, that order of files has changed, but folders order has not changed.

Name | Ext | Comment (UP1) | MyName (DOWN2)
[11111]| ---- | aaa --------| 11111
[22222]| ---- | aaa --------| 22222
descript.ion
22222 | txt | aaa --------| 22222
11111 | txt | aaa --------| 11111

But, if we use for secondary sorting column “Name” – the order will become correct.

Name(DOWN2) | Ext | Comment (UP1) | MyName
[22222]| ---- | aaa --------| 22222
[11111]| ---- | aaa --------| 11111
descript.ion
22222 | txt | aaa --------| 22222
11111 | txt | aaa --------| 11111

The inability to secondary sorting by additional columns is especially critical when using the plugin Expander2, dividing the folder name into several parts.
(Sorry for the errors in the text, if any, English is not native to me.)
Thanks for attention.

I can confirm this.

Confirmed, thanks - secondary sorting by custom columns was only applied to files.
